Gov. Scott Walker responded Wednesday to criticism of his statewide television advertisement explaining his stances on women’s issues.
In the 30-second spot released Monday, Walker said he had no doubt the decision of whether or not to end a pregnancy is an “agonizing one.”
“That’s why I support legislation to increase safety and to provide more information for a woman considering her options,” Walker said. “The bill leaves the final decision to a woman and her doctor.”
Among those who criticized the advertisement, Planned Parenthood Advocates Executive Director Tanya Atkinson said in a press release the ad was “an aggressive attack on women’s health."
Walker said people are trying to “spin what the legislation may or may not be,” according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
"We think it's about increasing public safety and providing a woman with more information about her options,” Walker said in the article.
